A bit of background

From the very beginning...

The brewery was originally located in Brentwood, Essex from 1996 to 2000.
Burntwood Bitter, our first beer is still recognised as one of the best bitters in the country.

Maldon Gold, first brewed following our move to Maldon in January 2001, is our best selling beer and in 2007 was voted not only the best Golden Ale in Britain but also the overall second best ale in the country, by CAMRA.

The original brew plant came from Whitworth Hall in County Durham, the home of Bobby Shafto!

We started off with two seven barrel fermentors and now have six 15 barrel fermenters and one 30 barrel fermentor. The brewery has been growing steadily year on year.
